I have a very early census for Balmaclellan 0 1790s - which lists al the inhabitants in family groups. Also various other local bits and pieces from there, Kells (New Galloway) and Parton. I'm in the middle of moving house and, unfortunately, I haven't brought them with me. I'll be going back towards the end of next week and check up on your Blands then.

Hi Gadget
I would really like a copy of the 1790's list you have of the inhabitants in family groups in the Balmaclellan, Kelton and Parton region. I think it would help me a great deal sort out of some of my family.
Also is it possible that you could look up the marriage certificate of William Dalyell(Dalziel) Maitland Bland born October 21, 1827 Kells to Isabella McMinn on June 17, 1864 at Rerrick. I am trying to figure out if is name was indeed William Dalyell(Dalziel) Maitland Bland and if this name was added to his birth name because of some family connection to the Maitland family as the Maitland family were prominent in the Kirkcudbright area.
NOTE: William's middle name has been spelt Dalziel, Dalzell and Dalyell). William had one sister carrying the middle name of Dalziel (Catherine Dalziel Bland born 1825 and married to Robert Garrett). His other siblings carried the middle names of McKie or McMinn. So this kind of puts things in a different persecptive as I guess have been going mostly on the scottish naming patterns and getting four different names in one family has me put of track especially when I cannot find a Dalziel, Maitland or McKie ancestor. The McMinn name of course would come from his mother Isabella Bland.
In the 1871 census William Dalziel Maitland Bland was a gardener, age 42 living at Loch Vale Cottage, Dumfries. Any information on Loch Vale Cottge, Dumfries or who owned it?
In the 1881 census he was listed as living in England as a gardener/domestic servant at Cart Lane Seawood Cottage, Upper and Lower Allithwiate, Lancashire, England. Any information on Cart Lane Seawood Cottage?
If you can be of any help I would surely appreciate it.
